I Didn’t Know That I Could Become World No.1: Carlos Alcaraz
Juan Carlos Ferrero: Carlos Alcaraz gears up for his debut at the 2024 Australian Open, having missed the previous year's tournament due to a hamstring injury. Seeded second in the men's draw, the 20-year-old Spaniard expressed his eagerness to compete and make his mark on the Grand Slam stage.
Alcaraz, the Wimbledon champion, acknowledges the challenge posed by his main rival, Novak Djokovic, the 10-time and defending Australian Open champion. Despite not playing a competitive match since the ATP Finals in November, Alcaraz remains a favorite for the title, showcasing his star quality.
In preparation, he participated in two exhibition matches, securing a victory against Djokovic in Riyadh on December 27 but falling to Alex de Minaur in a charity match in Melbourne last week.
